The “green” generation
Rocket mass heater workshop
I attended a rocket mass heater workshop last weekend. It was fun and educational. Seeing all the young people who want to live “green” was amusing! Imagine them wanting to do the things I did growing up . . . living with wood heat, slaughtering their own meat, raising their own vegetables . . . really cute in a retro kind of way. We did it growing up because we had to to survive. These people are making it a life-style choice. More power to ‘em. I like raising my own veges, I like heating with wood. I am drawing the line at going back to slaughtering my own food. In my early years I had enough of that to last me a lifetime. It’s enough to know I have the knowledge. I can milk a cow, skin a deer, cut up pig, chicken, turkey and beef. I have wrapped enough meat for the freezer. At this point in my life, as long as I can comfortably afford to purchase my meat in tidy plastic wrapped packages at the local grocers, I’ll stick with that method of supplying my protein.
